—The nation's army men and civilians set off an upsurge in studying and carrying out Chairman Mao's important instructions and tasks mentioned in New Year's Day editorial of "Renmin Ribao” "Hongqi" and "Jiefangjun Boo"

THE New Year's Day editorial of Renmin Ribao, Hongqi and Jiefangjun Bao transmitted oar great leader Chairman Mao's important instructions and the fighting calls of the Party Central Committee with Chairman Mao as its leader and Vice-Chairman Lin as its deputy leader. This is a great inspiration to the revolutionary people of all nationalities in our country and the commanders and fighters in the People's Liberation Army who are marching proudly into the great 1970s with militant strides. The New Year's Day editorial, they said, is an appeal which urges us to make still greater contributions to the Chinese revolution and the world revolution. It is a clarion call encouraging us to wage, along with the revolutionary people of the world, heroic struggles to bury imperialism, revisionism and the reactionaries of various countries. It is a declaration solemnly expressing the Chinese people's firm resolve: "Should any imperialism or social-imperialism dare to impose a war on the Chinese people, we will drown them in the ocean of people's war!" With boundless enthusiasm and strong determination, hundreds of millions of armymen and civilians all over the country have unanimously pledged: We will rally still more closely in the new year around the Party Central Committee with Chairman Mao as its leader and Vice-Chairman Lin as its deputy leader, make further efforts to arm ourselves with Mao Tsetung Thought, fulfil the various fighting tasks set by the Ninth Party Congress in a still better and faster way and win still greater victories in socialist revolution and socialist construction. A high tide in studying and carrying out Chairman Mao's latest instructions and the tasks mentioned in the New Year's Day editorial has taken shape during the past few days in every part of the nation — the revolutionary committees at all levels, factories, villages, government organs, schools and P.L.A. units.They have set up study classes and held forums. In the course of their study, they have examined their previous work and drawn up plans and measures for their work in the new year. While studying the editorial, armymen and civilians throughout the country reviewed the fighting course they had traversed in the 1960s. They heartily hailed the great victories won by the proletariat and the people of the world in their revolutionary cause under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought. Greatly elated, they said: In the past decade, just as our great leader Chairman Mao points out, "The enemy rots with every passing day, while for us things are getting better daily." Like the setting sun, U.S. imperialism, Soviet revisionism and all reactionaries are in a hopeless state, whereas the revolutionary struggle of the people of the world is developing vigorously. Our great socialist motherland has become even more consolidated, prosperous, powerful and vigorous. The history of revolution in the 1960s testifies to the great truth that Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought is the fundamental guarantee for the victories of the Chinese revolution and the world revolution. In the great 1970s, Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought will certainly be disseminated on a still wider scale, the people will be further awakened and the days of imperialism, revisionism and all reaction are numbered. The armymen and civilians of the nation expressed their determination to advance triumphantly in the great 1970s along the revolutionary course charted by Chairman Mao. Keeping the entire globe in view and looking ahead to the future, the people of all nationalities in the country and P.L.A. commanders and fighters are foil of confidence and determined to win ever more splendid victories in the new decade. They pledged that in 1970 they would hold the great red banc of Mao Tsetung Thought still higher, achieve still belter results in their living study and application of Mao Tsetung Thought, use Chairman Mao's great strategic thinking "Heighten our vigilance, defend the motherland" and "Be prepared against war, he prepared against natural disasters, and. do everything for the people" to push forward and examine the struggle-criticism-transformation movement. They also pledged to energetically grasp the struggle between the two classes, the two roads and the two lines as the key link, deepen revolutionary mass criticism, carry the socialist revolution in the ideological and cultural, political and economic fields through to the end, fulfil the militant tasks set by the Ninth Party Congress even belter and even faster and further consolidate the dictatorship of the proletariat. At the six plants and two universities in Peking which have created extremely rich and valuable advanced experience during the various stages of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution's struggle-criticism-transformation, the members of the People's Liberation Army unit supporting the Left and the revolutionary masses, following Chairman Mao's teachings to be modest and prudent and to guard against arrogance and rashness, checked on their work in the light of the New Year's Day editorial and worked out plans and measures for their work in the new year. After conscientiously studying the editorial, the Tientsin Municipal Revolutionary Committee decided to immediately set off a city-wide upsurge in studying and implementing Chairman Mao's latest instructions and the spirit of the New Year's Day editorial. Revolutionary committees at all levels in the city organized large numbers of Mao Tsetung Thought propaganda teams which went deep into the factories, suburban rural areas, government organizations, schools and residential areas to publicize these instructions and the editorial. Responsible members of the revolutionary committees at all levels vied with each other to go to the basic units where they joined the masses in studying and working out measures for implementing the spirit of the editorial. This has tremendously encouraged the masses. In reviewing the great victories of the 1960s, the members of these revolutionary committees and the revolutionary masses, acting in accordance with Chairman Mao's teaching "The comrades must be taught to remain modest, prudent and free from arrogance and rashness in their style of work" and in the light of Chairman Mao's latest instructions and the spirit of the New Year's Day editorial, summed up their experiences, found where they lagged behind others, worked out appropriate measures and made up their minds to guard against arrogance and rashness and advance from victory to victory. Members of the Party committee and revolutionary committee of the Shanghai No. 17 State Cotton Mill studied the editorial and, in the light of its spirit, checked their work in carrying out the tasks of struggle-criticism-transformation; while they affirmed their achievements they found out where they were lagging. They said: "The tasks of struggle-criticism-transformation in 1970 will be even heavier. We should all the more be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and be on the alert against corruption by bourgeois idea*. We must do an even better job in bringing about the ideological revolutionization of the leading cadres at all levels and win still greater victories." Working at the forefront of grasping revolution and promoting production, the broad masses of revolutionary workers and Door and lower-middle peasants, after conscientiously studying the editorial, were determined to exert further efforts to implement in an all-round way the general line of "going all out, aiming high and achieving greater, faster, better and more economical results in building socialism" formulated by Chairman Mao and his great strategic principle "Grasp revolution, promote production and other work and preparedness against war." They were resolved to give fuller play to the revolutionary spirit of "self-reliance" and "hard struggle" and make still greater achievements so as to win honour for our great leader Chairman Mao and for our great socialist motherland. Members of the working class in many places have made up their minds to unfold in the new year a sustained and deep-going socialist revolutionary emulation campaign, put revolution in command of production and turn out more and better products in order to make new contributions to our motherland's socialist revolution and socialist construction. Iron and steel workers in Peking, Anshan, Wuhan and other places in China, as well as the miners in Tatung, Kailan, Pingtingshan, Chiaotso, Penki and.other places, had outstanding successes in their first shift on January 1. In their first shift on New Year's Day, the steel workers of the Peking Steel Works produced high-quality steel which created a new level for their shift. The workers in the cold extrusion workshop also set an all-time high for their shift. The new steel which the works successfully trial-produced before the new year was in mass production at the very beginning of this year. The revolutionary workers of the Shanghai Boiler Plant, which had an overall fulfilment of last year's state plan one month ahead of schedule, broke with all conventions and went in for technical innovations in a big way. On New Year's Day, after round-the-clock hard work, they completed the job of making an important equipment needed to develop the electronics industry which would have taken at least a week in the past. At the Tachai Production Brigade in Hsiyang County, Shansi Province, the broad masses of poor and lower-middle peasants said with great feeling: "Every past success we Tachai people have had is the result of our closely following our great leader Chairman Mao and our living study and application of Mao Tsetung Thought. To support our motherland's socialist revolution and socialist construction, we must, in the new year, broaden and deepen the mass movement to study and apply Mao Tsetung Thought in a living way, do a still better job in bringing about the revolutionization of our thinking, firmly grasp revolution and energetically promote production and produce more food grain." In studying the New Year's Day editorial, the Communist Party members and revolutionary masses in different parts of the country unanimously pointed out that using Chairman Mao's great theory of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat to build our Party is the fundamental guarantee for developing the tremendous victories of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the measure of fundamental importance in further consolidating the dictatorship of the proletariat. The new Party committee and revolutionary committee of the Shanghai Bushing Alloy -Plant are determined to do a good job in Party building under the guidance Chairman Mao’s brilliant theory on Party building. They are resolved to conscientiously study the new Party Constitution and earnestly educate the Party members and activists asking to join the Party in the theory of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought on the Party and on the relationship between the leader, the political Party, political power, the class and the masses, criticizing Right or ultra-Left bourgeois reactionary trends of thought and increasing their understanding of the Party. In many Peking units where the work of Party consolidation and Party building is being carried out, the Party members voiced their determination to further take the lead in studying and applying Mao Tsetung Thought well, examine themselves in the light of Chairman Mao's instructions and the stipulations laid down in the new Party Constitution, thoroughly remould their world outlook and strive to give play to the vanguard role in the three great revolutionary struggles and build the Party organization into "a vigorous vanguard organization capable of leading the proletariat and the revolutionary masses in the fight against the class enemy." Our great leader Chairman Mao teaches us: "It is imperative to grasp typical cases well" and "As regards the entire work it is necessary first to grasp well one-third of it.” The revolutionary committee members at various levels received a profound education through their repeated study of these great teachings by Chairman Mao. They unanimously said that they were determined to grasp the Marxist-Leninist methods of work which Chairman Mao has consistently advocated, go deep into the grass-roots units, do a good job in the ideological revolutionization of the leading groups, and conscientiously do all struggle-criticism-transformation tasks well. With a view to making an overall plan and grasping typical cases well in groups and by stages, thereby promoting struggle-criticism-transformation in a deep-going way, the members of the revolutionary committee of the Tientsin Municipal Bureau of Construction Engineering, in accordance with Chairman Mao's teaching, summed up their experience last year in grasping typical cases, analysed the situation of the units under it and found the gap between themselves and the advanced departments. Starting from New Year's Day, the revolutionary committee of the Hungchiao District organized Mao Tsetung Thought study classes attended by the mainstay in the administrative organ of the revolutionary committee and those grass-roots units under it. Led by these mainstay, the masses in the district is expected to fulfil all struggle-criticism-transformation tasks better and quicker. The great leader Chairman Mao recently pointed out: "People of the world, unite and oppose the war of aggression launched by any imperialism or social-imperialism, especially one in which atom bombs are used as weapons! If such a war breaks out, the people of the world should use revolutionary war to eliminate the war of aggression, and preparations should be made right now!" Armymen and civilians received a profound education after repeatedly studying this latest instruction from Chairman Mao. They said: Chairman Mao's instruction is a great mobilization order and is of far-reaching historic and practical significance. While the revolutionary people are encouraged by it, imperialism, revisionism and all reaction fear it. The poor and lower-middle peasants of different nationalities and the frontier guards in the border area of Yunnan said: Chairman Mao's great instruction says what is on our minds. It makes us even more clearsighted and firmer in our revolutionary will. With invincible Mao Tsetung Thought, we are not afraid of war threats by any imperialism or social-imperialism. We will grasp the rifles in our hands more firmly, heighten our revolutionary vigilance a hundredfold and be ready to wipe out any enemy intruders at all times. After repeatedly studying Chairman Mao's latest instruction, combat hero Hua Yu-chich, who performed meritorious service on Chenpao Island in the self-defence fight to repulse the Soviet revisionist armed provocation, made this vow: Though I'm stationed at the frontier, Chairman Mao is in my heart. Looking in anger at the new tsars, I will wipe out any enemy who dares to invade! Guided by Chairman Mao's great instruction, the armymen and civilians battling at the anti-revisionist forefront in the Heilungkiang, Inner Mongolia and Sinkiang areas are determined, together with the people of the whole country, to make full ideological and material preparations against any war of aggression. If U.S. imperialism and social-imperialism dare to invade our great socialist motherland, we will wipe them out resolutely, thoroughly, wholly and completely.
